Animal health and growth performance are affected by many factors such as diet, stress, antibiotics and modern husbandry practices. The gastro-intestinal microflora of healthy birds would be maintained stable by using antibiotics in preventive dosages. However, it is also argued that antibiotics may have indirect adverse side effects with implications for human health through consumption of foo...

study of some growth promotion properties of bacterial isolates from animal manures and identification of selected isolatesabstractbackground and objectives: plants growth in agricultural soils are affected by several biological factors. plant growth promoting bacteria can improve growth and yield of agronomic plants through direct and indirect mechanisms. minimizing consequences of using high ...

The proportion of multidrug resistant bacteria causing infections in animals has continuously been increasing. While the relevance of ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamase)-producing Enterobacteriaceae spp. and MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is unquestionable, knowledge about multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in veterinary medicine is scarce. This is a worrisome s...

Chromosome segregation in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus involves propulsion of the replication origin and its capture at one pole of the cell. Bowman et al. (2008) and Ebersbach et al. (2008) now report the discovery of a protein called PopZ that mediates this chromosome capture.

probiotics are beneficial microorganisms of intestine with useful effects on growth and health of the animals by the colonization. in present study, effects of two different probiotic as bacillus subtilis and saccharomyces cerevisiae were investigated on growth parameters, survival, and body composition of a. franciscana. also the resistance against pathogenic bacteria of vibrio campbellii was ...
